Events are all about creating connections—connections between attendees, connections between an organization and its members, connections between a brand and its audience. No matter the industry, networking games are one of the best ways to connect a community. But the importance of networking often gets overlooked in the grand scheme of the event planning process. But it shouldn’t. Sure, a mix and mingle welcome reception is something, but is it really the best way to bring people together? And is it even memorable?

Instead, consider offering a different type of icebreaker activity. Consider, instead, of offering networking games. They’re more effective, engaging, efficient, and fun! Here are 8 options to choose from and more on why we’re choosing these over anything else. Dive Deeper Here!
